Chubby Chernobyl - Coffee/Copper (Oliver)

Known affectionately as “Oliver,” the Coffee/Copper Chubby Chernobyl brings rich, earthy tones to one of the most trusted foam dry fly patterns in modern fly fishing. Its dark brown underbody paired with a copper-hued foam top provides a lifelike terrestrial profile that excels in clear water and under bright light conditions.

This fly mimics grasshoppers, large ants, and stoneflies with impressive realism, making it a go-to choice for late summer and early fall fishing. The double foam construction offers outstanding floatation, even with heavy nymph droppers, while its highly visible wing post ensures you won't lose sight of it in riffles or glare. The barred rubber legs enhance the pattern’s effectiveness, providing irresistible motion that triggers aggressive strikes from trout.

Whether you're prospecting big water or targeting selective fish along grassy cutbanks, the Oliver delivers confidence with every cast.
